[Research Photon Energy Spectrum of Medical Linear Accelerator by Monte Carlo Method].
Objective: The distribution of the photon energy spectrum in isocenter plane of the medical linear accelerator and the influence of secondary collimator on the photon energy spectrum are studied. Methods Use the BEAMnrc program to simulate the transmission of the 6 MeV electrons and photons in 5 cm×5 cm,10 cm×10 cm,15 cm×15 cm and 20 cm×20 cm fields in treatment head of the medical linear accelerator, where a phase space file was set up at the isocenter plane to record the particle information passing through this plane. The BEAMdp program is used to analyze the phase space file, in order to obtain the distribution of the photon energy spectrum in isocenter plane and the influence of secondary collimator on the photon energy spectrum.
Results: By analyzing the photon energy spectrum of a medical linear accelerator with a nominal energy of 6 MV, it is found that the secondary collimator has little effect on the photon energy spectrum; different fields have different photon energy spectrum distributions; the photon energy spectrum in different central regions of the same field have the same normalized distribution.
Conclusion: In the dose calculation of radiation therapy, the influence of photon energy spectrum should be carefully considered.
